Awesome Arts Residencies 2018
South Newman Primary
Another great Awesome Ars residency in Newman a small mining town in the Pilbara region of WA.
We worked with two classes at South Newman Primary making hand puppets from pladtic plant pots, and learning film making skills from Kero, my talented husband.
Check out the kids' imaginative and very skilled puppets.

RAWA School Punmu and Kunawarridji, Great Sandy Desert:
The opportunies to work with kids in remote communities has been inspiring and educational and given us the opportunity to visit places we would not totherwise have seen.
Each school has offered a different set of challenges and contributed to our skills development. We now have a greater understanding of some of the challenges faced by the Aboriginal population of Western Australia, and of the great knowledge and understanding the have of the land we live on.
Our latest residencvy took us to the Martu communities of Punmu and Kunawarridji in the Great Sandy and Gibson Deserts.
Our theme was 'Different Voices' which was particularly relevant in these communities where English is a second or third language. The kids made puppets, masks and helmets to tell their stories. They produced many wonderful artworks full of imagination and colour.
